We have also decided to provide heatsinks as standard with the thumbs.

OK Erk you got me. Basically whatever will make people happy. The Drillbitsystem forum is there for whatever people want to use it for, and any discussion here are also welcome. As long as we're all having a good time!
October 22, 2013, 01:00:33 AM
A lot of things would be cool.
October 22, 2013, 12:40:03 AM
You know what would be cool 
4-6 Bitmine chips on a board for 100GH or so for about $300-400

anyway for those who want to know real life performance from a knc saturn :
with a 80 plus gold psu 250 volt, using at the wall 260 Gh average using 315.7 watt measured with eu version kill a watt
That makes it 1.2142 watt / Gh

Heh heh, liked by the sacred provider, ooh yeah.
No offense from me either Erk, I was just pictorially joking around about how you're quite the thread policeman when you put your mind to it. All good, like everyone else in a public thread you've pretty much got the right to remain whatever!

Bahaha
This makes me wish there a "like" button on this forum!... No offense Erk.
But yeah i do think gh/w is a worthy discussion topic. I haven't got good answer for you yet on that unfortunately, but as soon as i do i'll share them with you all, but basically the theoretical maximums already discussed shouldn't be too far off, somewhere in the vicinity of 1W per GH.
And regarding the hashrates, yes th ahrdware is built to achieve the hashrates stated in the title of the thread. From here it is software tweaking, overclocking etc to get it up to those rates.
More soon.

I don't have a problem with the discussion on GH/s or PSUs, however let me quote you:
Hey all.
Yes let's keep discussions on specific things over on the forum at drillbitsystem.net/forum. I'll try to jump in there when i can to answer questions. I'll also try to do up a specs sheet thingy which will hopefully address most of the questions being asked.
As for USB cables, i have decided that because i love you all so much, i'll send USB cables free with the miners when we send them out, so you don't need to worry about those.

I think this is a good idea actually. Why don't we do that; continue PSU, cooling, heatsink, bitcoin apocalype/revolution tec discussion over at the forum and keep this one clear for getting more people 'on board'
... I'm not too fussed, but i did like the way individual discussion could be started over there. Please feel free to keep using it everyone.Barntech
What can I say.
October 21, 2013, 09:34:10 PM
wtf erk dude stop with your crap and show me where it says we are not allowed to talk ..... I talk about anything i want where ever i want. If you do not like it your problem
We are all on our toes to know anything we can sqeeuze out of barntech

Bitmine,Blackarrow & I think Hashfast are around 1/2 watt per GH,looks to be about the best coming.So @ .8 watts per GH is pretty good,for a 55nm chip even
Beats the hell out of BFL 65nm(5 watts per GH) & Avalon 110nm(6 watts per GH) & maybe thier 55nm may come close,but who would buy Y I FU's crap
Bitmine and Hashfast haven't shipped a chip so we know nothing. Why are we even talking about this in the Group Buy thread, keep it on topic please.Beats the hell out of BFL 65nm(5 watts per GH) & Avalon 110nm(6 watts per GH) & maybe thier 55nm may come close,but who would buy Y I FU's crap
How is talking about power efficiency of ASIC chips used in Drillbit systems off topic? This factor determines the usefullness of the drillbit boards, and helps people to decide whether or not it is profitable to gamble by buying more boards.

What's the consumption at 1.6Gh? Some people mostly care about Gh/W, the total hashing power being a secondary stat.
The very top of the OP states 0.8W/Ghps.
Is there any information on how the W/Ghps for these chips compare to other ASIC vendors (KnC, CoinTerra, Monarch, etc)?
To me this determines if the chips are useable for a long time, or if they are just a short term novelty that will be useless in a few months. I was burned by just how inefficient the Avalon gen1 chips were compared to other ASIC vendors, as a result they will be shut off soon just like GPU & FPGA rigs. I'd prefer something that makes sense to leave running for awhile...
Although possible, nobody runs them at 0.8Watt/GH/s more likely to be at 1.0w or more if you overclock. There is plenty of information about the Bitfury chips in the Bitfury development thread under custom hardware.
0.8W/Gh or ~1.0W/Gh is the same ball park.
It would be helpful to know how this range compares to the other new ASIC designs coming online soon which may be much more efficient at 28nm. i.e. if KnC or CoinTerra are around 0.05W/Gh then BitFury chips have a long-term issue.
Does anyone know if there is a good power consumption comparision of ASIC chip estimates? I tried searching but all I found were incomplete. Thanks,
